Chef windows annoyance of the day

“knife cookbook upload getting-started” fails under git bash (Ruby 1.8.7 or
1.9.2):

ERROR: Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - ruby -c
c:/chef/chef-repo/.chef/…/cookbooks/getting-started/metadata.rb

Works fine when run from standard Windows cmd.exe. Anything I can do to make it
work under git bash? The rest of my knife commands are working fine from there.

Are your cookbooks stored in "c:/chef/chef-repo/.chef/../cookbooks/" ?
That is where knife is looking for it

I think you need to add "-o <path_to_cookbook>" to knife command

It's working fine today. Insanity has been attained.

Ha - now knife cookbook test fails in similar fashion. "knife cookbook
upload foo" works fine. "knife cookbook test foo" fails. Can't find
attributes/default.rb, ironically because that file in fact exists. Again,
fails in git bash but works in cmd.exe. I suppose tomorrow knife cookbook
test will start working :-(.
